NYNU: Notions - THREAD, and a Free Poncho Tutorial
/
Hey Hey..... today I am going to talk to you about THREAD and how it is the best notion in your arsenal. You don't have to have fancy machines to do amazing things with thread, but if you DO have fancy machinery and aren't using it.... dust it off and let it show you all the beauty it contains!

If you are looking for that 'thing' in 2016 that will take your sewing to the next level, you are going to want to find a new way to look at incorporating notions. Now, what are 'notions'? Really, anything that isn't your main fabric for creating a garment is a notion; so your buttons, zippers, bias tape, hem tape, lace, sequins, even your thread can become a notion depending on how you use it.

Today, Jane has a great tutorial to mash up the Little Lizard King Janie Lou and the Brownie Goose Bay Dress. The tutorial is important because not all pattern pieces match one another which can make a 'mash up' seem daunting. But, she takes out the guess work and shows you what to match and how. Resulting in this stunning Janie-Bay.... I want, I want!!!

Nacole is sharing her mash up of the Simple Life Pattern Co.'s Mia, and the Funktional Threads Grace Ruffle. Both dresses have a fitted bodice and gathered skirt with elastic in the back to provide the perfect fit - therefore they are the perfect mash-able patterns. And I am in love with the outcome!

As we look at this year with fresh eyes for creativity, it would be remiss not to talk about the Mash Up. What is a Mash Up you ask??? Well, it is simply combining two patterns together to get a whole new look. If you are new to altering and adapting patterns, mash ups are a great place to start becasue they show you that there are options and that a pattern DOESN'T have to be sewn as written!
